just white

My blog had become such an exciting space, filled with exciting things like dinner plates and saucers.

It had just gotten more exciting with today's entry that is the noodle bowl.

I think the designer of the bowl crafted this piece with proper ramen in mind rather than instant noodles.  However, I had decided that I would use this for such.

And ramen too, if I ever come around making those :)

In case you are wondering who my fiancé feels about such a feminine bowl, the answer is that he doesn't mind.  

He said that he just wants something that is big enough to handle his soup and could not care less whether it had flowers, butterflies or guy things like gears and tools.

When probed, he confessed being partial to simple plates.  And by simple he means plain white.   

He commented that it was good that I got a spoon and holder with it because he deemed those useful.  

He notice the glaring truth that we have no chopsticks yet.

in bloom--cherry blossom saucers & mini flower bowls 

One of my favorite Japanese stores was on sale yesterday and I found two things that I loved.

First is small cherry blossom saucers.  I love that it is off white--and very subtle.  It's plain and not plain at the same time!

The other is just slightly bigger (extremely small) flower bowl.  Not sure if it is meant to be a flower, a cloud or a four leaf clover--doesn't really matter.  I got a pair anyways.

There is still an on-going debate in my head about which plates I should get.  

I hate to rush into a decision only because whichever plate I buy would be staring back at me every night for at least two years (maybe even a lifetime, if I keep them well?).

I did see a set of white-on-white floral bowls that would be perfect when we eat noodle soup at home.  Maybe I'll get a pair tomorrow ;)

I am not about to write something philosophical.

I want to write about plates.

I know that I am supposed to by writing about wedding preparations but somehow, I can't stop thinking about dinnerware.

I know I want white and other near white shades with various textures and finishes.  The mixing and matching is keeping me up at night!

It doesn't help that I imagine preparing various dishes to test my shopping list.

Soup and salad, porridge with tokwa't baboy, pizza (of course), pasta, tacos, spring rolls, grilled squid and pancit.

I am thinking of more dishes as I am typing this--which means that I am currently re-evaluating my list.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no.

So apparently I need to add another item--a bigger serving dish to cover pancit.
